Instagram Updates
Instagram Expands Notes to Reels and Feed Posts
First up, Instagram has announced a significant expansion of its Notes messaging feature. Initially launched as an inbox-only feature, Notes is now available on both Reels and feed posts. This new functionality allows users to leave notes from the messaging menu, providing another way to interact with friends.
For example, followers can add a note while watching a Reel, which will show up on the screen. Similarly, on feed posts, followers can attach Post-it type messages directly to the update. This feature has proven popular, especially among younger users. In fact, Instagram reported that teen users create Notes at ten times the rate of non-teens. If your target audience includes teenagers, this is a feature you might want to leverage.
Instagram Tests Making the Messaging Icon the Main Focus
Furthermore, over time, engagement on Instagram has shifted increasingly towards direct messages (DMs). In response, Instagram is testing a new interface where the messaging icon becomes more prominent. Some users are now seeing a new messaging icon in the lower function bar, replacing the post creation icon. This change aligns with the growing trend of private sharing over public comments.
As seen in an example posted by Jasmine Arberg, some users now have the messaging and post creation icons switched in the main UI. Interestingly, this adjustment is not limited to mobile; it appears on the desktop version as well. Some people can enable or disable this feature, so keep an eye out for it in your app.
